Introduction
The Rio Serrano is a hidden gem located in the far southern reaches of the Chilean Andes. It is situated in the famous Torres Del Paine National Park where the landscape is spectacular and the fishing even more so.
The river is host to a fantastic annual run of Chinook King salmon. These are the largest of the salmonid family, with the Rio Serrano having produced fish of up to 30kg, with an average size of catches between 10 - 20kg.
There are great runs of salmon from mid December through late February and these colossal fish will provide fly fishing enthusiasts with the fight of a lifetime.
January and February offer the best chance of large fresh Chinook as they are fresh from the Pacific Ocean and full of energy. Later in February there are often more fish as they gather in the pools until the late season. There are also good runs of sea run brown trout plus a healthy population of resident brown trout.
